The Quarry Withdraws
June 25, 2026
Resident Kevin Carriere has been among those to comment on the matter in recent months.
“I hope it means that things are going well, but we don’t know the quarry’s reason for withdrawing their request for the new zoning district,” said Carriere of the recent proceedings. “A lot of residents are on the edge of their seats trying to figure out what’s next…”
100 Residents!
June 14, 2026
On June 14, I hit 100 people that I’ve either left material at their door or had conversations with. The number is slow to start with, mainly because we haven’t ordered our bulk set of brochures about my positions! So it relies on my printer being on, ordering paper, et cetera. Still, it’s been really exciting to chat with everyone, and I’m getting better by the day!
If you missed me, and want to schedule a time for me to stop by, there’s a form for that on the Contact Me part of the site; check it out!
We’re off and running!

Today is the big day, June 1. The not-so-well-kept secret is out of the bag: I'm running for Town Council. I love my town; it's why I moved back. But I want town leaders who are willing to pass and enforce ordinances to preserve our future so that the mistakes of the past do not happen again. Indecision, inaction, and incivility have cost our town too much. I am running to change that. There are over 4,500 doors to knock on in North Smithfield -- so let's get to work.

Love, not hate.
April 16, 2026
A hate group with over 6.7 million followers mentioned our town’s library. I was concerned for the well-being of our librarians and our town, and had mentioned it on a local town Facebook page. I will always assist people in trying to find productive ways to connect and communicate with our government, and I shared both my thoughts and draft emails to send our local leaders.
Elected leaders should act like adults.

I had, like many of us, grown accustomed to our local leaders yelling and insulting citizens in private and public social media groups. Social media, as we know, brings out the worst in us. But once I saw a State Representative tell my neighbor they were descending into madness, I knew I couldn’t stand on the sidelines anymore. This is not normal behavior. This is not how we treat each other. This is not the kind of community I grew up in, and it’s not the behavior I want to see my children viewing as the people who we choose to represent us. This kind of behavior doesn’t represent me. It doesn’t represent the North Smithfield I know. And that’s what I wrote.
We can - we must - do better.
